Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Zafer kicks off with a vibrant jolt of grapefruit, swiftly joined by a warming, aromatic blend of cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This spicy-citrus opening gives way to a clean, subtly floral lavender heart. The real magic unfolds in the dry down, where a rich tapestry of smooth sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and deep vetiver is woven with the unique, dark twist of licorice and a warm embrace of amber. It's bold, complex, and rather captivating.
